For this music video, my goal was to visually show the journey from self-judgment to genuine acceptance of one's own body.
One central theme I wanted to highlight was vulnerability. At the start, the models appear emotionally raw and uncertain, surrounded by fragmented mirror shards reflecting their inner self-criticism. These mirror shards symbolize how distorted our self-perception can become when viewed through the lens of societal beauty standard.
Each model carried a unique story of resilience and beauty: - Melissa, a postpartum mother with stretch marks and a C-section scar, symbolized the powerful transformation of motherhood. - Ruby, whose visible self-harm scars spoke of emotional healing, represented overcoming stigma and finding strength through vulnerability. - Paul, a man in his 70s, embodied the grace and dignity of aging through his wrinkles and sun-spotted skin. - Fai, born without arms, illustrated remarkable adaptability and strength, challenging perceptions of disability. - Lastly, Aui, a chemical burn survivor with prominent scars, stood for resilience and the profound journey toward self-acceptance after trauma.
I painted wave-like patterns along the natural lines of their bodies, scars, wrinkles, and veins, relating the body with beauty and art. The models' guardedness gradually softened into curiosity and openness, mirroring my own path toward healing and self-acceptance.
The final scenes of genuine authenticity and silly moments were particularly meaningful to me. I wanted to show unguarded acceptance our bodies have always been our lifelong friend and our home, even if we've sometimes felt distant or critical. We don’t need to be perfect to belong. It's about remembering to find our way back to ourselves, over and over again.
What if the pressure to “achieve your goal” is exactly what’s keeping you from truly living?
These are some stills from the “Hunter of Fate” animated video (coming out in 2 days!!)
I spent many years chasing my own version of the glowing star in this video. You think if you just aim right, if you just hustle harder, you’ll eventually catch it. But even when I got what I thought I wanted, it didn’t feel like anything. Just…emptiness.
That’s what this story is about. A girl chasing a goal through a giant city until she realizes she’s completely lost herself. The turning point isn’t when she catches the star. It’s when she puts the bow down and starts noticing the world around her. She stops running. She starts living. That’s what I’ve been trying to learn too.
Full video will be out on Friday. But for now, here’s a peek.
Ever felt out of place, like you're from another planet? "Calling" is for anyone who's ever hidden their quirks. It's a call to embrace our weird side & share it with the world. Maybe you'll find fellow multiverse travelers along the way 👽🤖🦄
The studio version of "Don't Cancel Me" is finally coming out on 30 April!!! I wish I could've released it on April's fools, but couldn't get everything done on time haha. Given the content of the video, it would have been perfect. Nonetheless, I'm super pumped for this and can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Does anyone recognize what this scene is a parody of? (Yes I bullied a lot of kids in this video :p) This is from my 2nd music video coming out later this month. Subscribe if you don't wanna miss it! 🤫
Teaser of my next music video coming out later this month. It's a parody of how society, bad parenting, and mindless TV shows brainwash kids not to think for themselves. Subscribe if you don't wanna miss it! 🤫

Thank you 1,000 humans for supporting me! (hopefully you guys are hoomans or sentient bots at least).
I’m also human sometimes, and it’d be really cool to know you guys more as a person instead of subscriber numbers.
✨ Comment & let me know where you’re from & what’s your favorite song/band right now? ✨
